Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. An electronic apparatus, comprising: a housing; a circuit board in the housing; and a connector that comprises an opening into which a flexible cable is configured to be plugged, the connector being attached to the circuit board and facing an inner surface of the housing, wherein the circuit board comprises (i) a first surface on which the connector is attached, (ii) a second surface that is opposite to the first surface and includes a marking in a position corresponding to the connector, and (iii) a cutout in a position corresponding to a center portion of the opening of the connector, the marking comprises a portion having a width substantially equal to a width of the opening of the connector.

2

2. An electronic apparatus, comprising: a housing; a circuit board in the housing; and a connector that comprises an surface including an opening into which a flexible cable is configured to be plugged, the connector being attached to the circuit board and facing an inner surface of the housing, wherein the circuit board comprises (i) a first surface on which the connector is attached, (ii) a second surface that is opposite to the first surface and includes a marking in a position corresponding to the connector, and (iii) a cutout in a position corresponding to a center portion of the opening of the connector, the marking comprises an edge extending in a width direction of the opening and a location of the edge of the marking corresponds to a location of the surface of the connector in an insertion direction of the flexible cable.

3. An electronic apparatus, comprising: a housing; a circuit board in the housing; and a connector that comprises an opening into which a flexible cable is configured to be plugged, the connector being attached to the circuit board and facing an inner surface of the housing, wherein the circuit board comprises (i) a first surface on which the connector is attached, (ii) a second surface that is opposite to the first surface and includes a marking in a position corresponding to the connector, and (iii) a cutout in a position corresponding to a center portion of the opening of the connector, the marking comprises an edge extending in a width direction of the opening and a location of the edge of the marking corresponds to a position of a deepest part of an internal space of the connector, into which the flexible cable is configured to be plugged, in an insertion direction of the flexible cable.

4. An electronic apparatus, comprising: a housing; a circuit board in the housing; and a connector that comprises an opening into which a flexible cable is configured to be plugged, the connector being attached to the circuit board and facing an inner surface of the housing, wherein the circuit board comprises (i) a first surface on which the connector is attached, (ii) a second surface that is opposite to the first surface and includes a marking in a position corresponding to the connector, and (iii) a cutout in a position corresponding to a center portion of the opening of the connector, wherein the marking comprises a line portion extending in an insertion direction of the flexible cable that comprises a pair of side edges extending in the insertion direction, and the line portion comprises a pair of straight lines extending substantially parallel to the pair of side edges of the flexible cable.

5

5. The electronic apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the pair of straight lines are near on respective extended lines of the pair of side edges of the flexible cable.

6

6. The electronic apparatus of claim 4 , wherein a distance between the pair of straight lines is substantially equal to a width of the opening.

7

7. An electronic apparatus of claim 1 , comprising: a housing; a circuit board in the housing; and a connector that comprises an opening into which a flexible cable is configured to be plugged, the connector being attached to the circuit board and facing an inner surface of the housing, wherein the circuit board comprises a cutout in a position corresponding to a center portion of the opening of the connector, the cutout comprises a bottom portion most recessed from a side surface of the circuit board in the cutout and wherein a location of the surface of the connector corresponds to a location of the bottom portion of the cutout.

8

8. An electronic apparatus comprising: a housing; a circuit board in the housing; a connector comprises an opening into which a flexible cable is configured to be plugged, the connector being attached to the circuit board and facing an inner surface of the housing; and a member attached to the inner surface of the housing, the member comprises a surface configured to make a height of the flexible cable mounted on the member correspond substantially to a height of the opening of the connector.

9

9. The electronic apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the member is configured to face a terminal section of the flexible cable in a state before the flexible cable is connected to the connector, and is softer than the housing.

10

10. An electronic apparatus comprising: a housing; a circuit board in the housing; a connector comprising an opening into which a flexible cable is configured to be plugged, the connector being attached to the circuit board and facing an inner surface of the housing; and an auxiliary plate comprising a first portion and a second portion, the first portion of the auxiliary plate is fixed to an end of the flexible cable and the second portion of the auxiliary plate is configured to be pulled up with respect to the flexible cable and hand-hooked when the flexible cable is pressed to the connector.
